chapter 3
No one believed that Jiang Tingrou would be friends with an ordinary girl from a poor background.
My sister probably didn’t expect it either.
She had just entered university, and the campus forum was ablaze with the selection of the campus belle.
Jiang Tingrou cared a lot about her reputation. She enlisted many friends and even paid outsiders to help her boost votes.
In the end, she lost to my sister by just a few votes.
Many anonymous comments appeared in the forum:
[Miss Jiang is really beautiful, but I’m not into the plump and round type, hahaha.]
[Yue Yue’s figure, even as a girl, I can’t help but drool.]
[Yue Yue’s proportions are perfect, she won the genetic lottery. No one could ever get that through plastic surgery.]
My sister didn’t want to be discussed. She was always low-key at school, but the more silent she was, the more people saw her as an ice-cold beauty.
A week after the results were announced, Jiang Tingrou took the initiative to approach my sister.
Rumor had it that this Beijing Circle Little Princess was always arrogant, but she was very friendly to my sister.
“You really are so pretty! I love hanging out with beauties.”
Jiang Tingrou suggested they become friends and even gave my sister expensive gifts.
My sister refused, but Jiang Tingrou forced them into her hands: “If you don’t accept, you’re disrespecting me!”
My sister had no choice but to accept.
Jiang Tingrou also invited my sister to her birthday party.
My sister was instinctively a bit afraid of such social occasions, but Jiang Tingrou put her arm around her shoulder and said warmly, “You’ll be looking for internships next semester, right? Several of my girlfriends’ dads are CEOs of top financial institutions. I’ll ask them to introduce you to some internship opportunities!”
My sister was tempted. In her letter to us, she said she wanted to see if there were higher-paying internships. If she found one, she’d have enough money to send us to high school in the city.
That night, Jiang Tingrou’s birthday party was held on the top floor of a luxury hotel owned by the Jiang Family.
Men and women, intoxicated by pleasure, music blaring, alcohol flowing.
Until close to one in the morning, a scream rang out.
A girl fell from the top floor, crashing heavily onto the ground.
……
Afterwards, Jiang Tingrou cried in front of the Police and the media.
She said she wanted to be friends with Yue Yue and had given her many gifts, but she never expected that greed would drive Yue Yue to seduce her boyfriend at the birthday party.
She claimed to have caught them in the act, and Yue Yue, panicked, climbed over the balcony railing and fell from the top floor.
The hotel’s surveillance cameras happened to be broken that night.
But everyone who attended the party testified that Jiang Tingrou was telling the truth.
And when my sister fell, she was only wearing underwear.
Her dorm room was indeed filled with the luxury goods Jiang Tingrou had given her.
So the internet hurled all kinds of abuse at her.
[Sigh, poverty breeds cunning. This girl probably relied on her looks, saw the world of the rich, and was determined to climb the social ladder.]
[She failed to seduce and lost her life-serves her right.]
[Poor Jiang Tingrou, witnessing someone jump to their death on her birthday. What bad luck.]
There were one or two posts questioning the truth behind the incident, but they were quickly deleted, and the posters’ accounts were wiped out.
Just like that, Jiang Tingrou became the farmer bitten by the snake, receiving sympathy from the entire internet.
Now, many years have passed.
Jiang Tingrou is about to marry her boyfriend from back then, now the president of Gu Group.
That silent girl, Yue Yue, has long been forgotten by her.
But someone remembers.
Late at night, Wu Man fulfills her duties as Butler, patrolling the villa to check on the Servants working the night shift.
Meanwhile, I open my notebook, carefully planning Jiang Tingrou’s diet for tomorrow.
We will work together to prepare the most unforgettable wedding for Jiang Tingrou.
